We're dividing 854494 by 56 
Our goal is to divide 854494 by 56.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 56

On to step 2:
56 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 56 from 85 to get 29.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 294 / 56

Step 3:
56 goes into 294 5 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 280 from 294 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 144 / 56

Advancing to step 4:
56 goes into 144 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 152.0
Deduct 112 from 144 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 329 / 56

Advancing to step 5:
329 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1525.0
Subtract 280 from 329 to get 49.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 494 / 56

Advancing to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 494 8 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15258.0
Subtracting 448 from 494 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
56 can be fit into 460 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15258.8
If we subtract 448 from 460, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
56 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15258.82
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
56 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15258.821
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 56 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
240 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15258.8214
Deduct 224 from 240 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 56, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15258.82142
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
56 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15258.821428
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 448 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 56, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15258.8214285
Deduct 280 from 320 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 56 fits into 400 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15258.82142857
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 15258.82142857, and the remainder is 8e-09.
